I feel n little stupid but...I marked both my ropes with BEAL rope marker but now the place where I marked the rope is stiff and the rope does'nt have the flexibility that it use to have,will this weaken the rope(I did put quite a lot of the stuff on there...) I anxiously await your replies.

I got a rope with a factory middle marker and it worried me the first time it went through my reverso. It crunched a bit and slowed down but it hasn't worried me. I am pretty sure that it's only the sheath that's got a bit stiffer with the marker and the core is still doing its job.

I have a bottle of Beal Rope Marker and ro-do my ropes from time to time as the old marking fades. It is normal for the marked area to be a bit stiff when newly marked but will return to normal after a bit of use.

alternative I have tried and founds works really well with no damage to the rope. I took a 5cm / 3mm strip of ripstop nylon and wove it into the mantle with a blunt nose needle, leaving about 5mm free at either end. Its easy to see and no chemical harm to the rope.
